Finally, it comes to the final week of being a hou-se-man. One year of constant 3-4 days/ call seems to be a never-ending journey. Never would I thought I would have survived the whole year. One year ago, I was the pre-intern wandering around in UCH and kept on doubting my ability in becoming a doctor. One year later, I am still in UCH (alot of flash backs recently when I walk pass S block and the Hostel block)... One year just went by very quickly. UCH PED (7/06-9/06) Get to know three other very good colleagues whom now become good friends of mine. Never would I thought we would associate with each other when I was still a med student. Work was repetitive and tiring, yet, got to know really nice and kind MOs there. TMH ORT (10/06-12/06) Definitely the best rotation! Good colleague, Ms Goo~ I hope you would get to do what you like to do in the future. PWH MED (1/07-3/07) A strong sense of frustration initially... gradually tailed down and become more of a gratifying experience. Got to fill in gaps of my medical knowledge. Despite long work hours and occasional "mo liu" work, it's actually a good place to learn. My other 3 colleagues in the same team are also very helpful. UCH SUR (4/07-6/07) Final 3 months. Get to know short cuts and can handle ward complaints better. It's not too bad afterall when you get used to the culture here. Nurses here are more demanding because they have hold on to some of the work values and philosophy strongly. I most count myself extremely lucky in a sense that I've got really kind colleagues who go "in and out of death" with me throughout the whole year. Thanks for being there. 1 more call; 3 and 1/2 more days of housemanship...... It's time to move on... +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Okay, here's some reply to the comments made in my previous post: - Eve: I will be staying in South Hillcrest 倚嶺南庭, very near to Lingnan University - Sindy: Yes, I will move into the "North West". Will become a "Tuen Mun-er" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ One more thing... "Hospital chief faces barrage of abuse at doctors' pay-rise protest" hit one of headlines of a local newspaper I was touched. I am proud to be one of the frontline doctors in Hong Kong. I am proud of my profession. There were no labels of which "University" you graduated from; there were no labels on how senior/ junior you are in the profession; but we all stand up and fight for our pride and dignity. 同工同酬 同工同酬 同工同酬 同工同酬 同工同酬 同工同酬 同工同酬 同工同酬 同工同酬 同工同酬 |
